Asian Cricket Council

The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) is the governing body of cricket in most countries and territories in Asia. The ACC was established in 1983, to promote and develop the sport of cricket in Asia. Subordinate to the International Cricket Council, the council is the continent's regional administrative body, and currently consists of 30 member associations. Mohsin Naqvi is the current president of the ACC.

History The council was formed as the Asian Cricket Conference in New Delhi, India, on 19 September 1983, with the original members being Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Pakistan, Singapore, and Sri Lanka. Changing its name to the present in 1995. Until 2003, the headquarters of the council were rotated biennially amongst the presidents' and secretaries' home countries. The organization's current president is Mohsin Naqvi.

The council runs a development program that supports coaching, umpiring and sports medicine programs in member countries, funded from television revenues collected during the officially sanctioned Asian Cricket Council tournaments including the Asia Cup, Under-19 Asia Cup, Women's Asia Cup and various other tournaments.

Previously ACC was headquartered in Colombo, Sri Lanka, which was officially opened on 20 August 2016. In 2019, the headquarters of the ACC was moved to Dubai, near the International Cricket Council (ICC) office.
